The 5th Grade have been working on their Chinese Dragons. We started this project just after Chinese New Year ended. Though once the project was announced the students really got excited. 5th Graders and Dragons are a good match I suppose.
We began work on our Dragons in our sketchbooks. Students drew 4 Dragon heads, some of the students decided they needed 8 Dragon heads (remember they are excited). Once the students settled on which head was to be their Dragon, we moved to our final project.
By transferring their images and outlining in black marker, students created a double-sided dragon. Both sides are then painted with watercolor.
Once the head (page1), the body (page 2), and the tail (page 3) are completed, we then attach them. First students must cut out and then join each segment of the dragon to the others. Once it is all put together the dragon is 3 pages long and fully colored on both sides.
